SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,133, dated April 6,1885.

Application filed May 22, 1885. Serial No. 166,342.

To ctZZ znwm/ it may concern:

Be it known that I; JAMES F. BOGAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at East Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State ofMassachusetts, haveinvented certain new and use ful Improvements inFaucets; and I do hereby declare that the same are fully described inthe following specification, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings.

This invention relates to improvements in faucets of that kind which areadapted to remain permanently in the tapping-hole of a barrel, tank, orother receptacle for the liquid, as may be desired, duringtransportation of such receptacles, and thus to prevent driving in theplug of the tappinghole and injury to the barrel-head, which is the casewhere no such permanently-retained faucets are used.

The invention is carried out as follows, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, where Figure 1 represents a side elevation, andFig. 2 represents a central longitudinal section, of the improved faucetshown as closed. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section of the deviceopen for use. Fig. 4 represents a front elevation, and Fig. 5 representsa cross-section on the line A B, shown in Fig. 3.

Similar letters refer to similar parts whereever they occur on thedifferent parts of the drawings.

a represents the metal shell having an eXterior screw-thread, andadapted to be screwed through a perforation in the barrel head or tank,as usual. Said shell has in its rear end an inwardly-projecting annularlip, a', (shown in Figs. 2 and 3,) serving as a stop or rest for theexterior flange, b, on the perforated strainer-sleeve b, that isinserted from the open front end of sleeved before its valve sleeve andplug are placed in position.

b b are perforations in the strainer-sleeve I), as shown in Figs. l, 2,and 3, to prevent sediment or iloating particles from passing into shella. i

The strainer b is prevented from being pushed entirely through shell cby the strainer-flange b coming to a stop against the annular projectionc', as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

The strainer b is detachable from shell a, and has for this purpose inits inner open end a lateral bar or wire, b3, (shown in Figs. 2 and 3,)by means of which and a suitable hook or (No model.)

tool it may be pulled out through the Open front end of sleeve a, alterthe valve sleeve and plug have been removed, so as to cleanse the saidstrainer in case it should become clogged up. Near its outer end thesleeve a is provided with an interior screw-thread, a, into which isscrewed the screw-threaded valvesleeve c, having in its outer end ailange, c', fitting in a recess, as, in the outer end of sleeve a, asshown in Figs. 2 and 3.

c" is a suitable packing interposed between flange c and bottom ofrecess ai, to effect a water-tightjoint at this place.

'The screw-threaded valve-sleevec is furthermore provided with aninterior screwthread, in which is fitted the screw-th readed val ve-plugd, having a valve, d, and packing d, adapted to rest against thevalve-seat o3 in the boredout rear end of valve-sleeve c when the faucetis in a closed position, as shown in Fig. 2.

The interior surface of the valve-sleeve c is provided with a number oflongitudinal recesses or channels, c1 c4 0*, (shown in Figs. 2, 3, and5,) to permit the liquid to be conducted to the cock E when t-hevalveplug d is in au open position, as shown in Fig. 8.

e is the hollow screw-threaded shank on cock E, as usual, the thread onsaid shank being made of equal pitch and diameter as the interiorscrew-thread in valve-sleeve c.

e is a screwdrive1'-like projection secured to end of shank c, and isadapted to fit into the recess or recesses d d3 in the outer end ofvalve-plug d, as shown in the drawings.

e e are notches or channels in the end of shank c, communicating withthe central delivery-way, e, in the cock E, as shown in Fig. 3, when thelatter is connected to the valvesleeve c, as shown in Fig. 3.

We will suppose that the cock E is removed and the faucet closed, asshown in Fig. 2. If it is now desired to connect the cock E and at thesaine time establish communication from the barrel to the cock E, Iproceed as follows: The project-ion e on the end of screw-threaded shanke of the cock E is inserted in the notches d3 d3 in the outer end ofplug d. If, now, the cock E is turned to the right it will cause theplug d to turn and be screwed back ward at the saine time as the shank eis screwed into the outer end of the stationary valve-sleeve c, and whenthe packing d has passed by the rear t c3, by which all communicationfrom inside to outside of barrel is closed at or about the same time asthe cock E is unscrewed from valve sleeve c.

Having thus fully described the nature, construction, and operation ofmy invention, I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claiml. In afaucet, the outer shell, a, having rear inwardly-projecting flange` a',in combination with the detachable perforated strainer b, having flangeb and cross-bar b3, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a faucet, the outer shell, a, having annular ange or lip a', forthe support of the detachable perforated strainer b, in combination withthe screw-threaded valve-shell c, having valve-seat c, and thelongitudinal passages c" c4 0*, and screwthreaded adjustable valve-plugd, having the valve d and packing d in its inner end, and recesses d al3in its front end adapted to receive the projection e' on cock E,substantially in a manner and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
